My research has mostly been concerned with the ongoing partition of Ireland, its cultural representation, and the impact that it continues to have on the island's culture and institutions. I am currently writing a book entitled Irish Culture and Partition, 1920-1955, which examines this in detail. I am also interested in the country and the city in twentieth century Irish culture, as well as journalism, emergency law, and decolonization.
